Researchers: Ask the buyers to describe their purchase.

Listen for their needs ‘I needed to...’

Listen for tasks ‘I did this...’

Write down one need or task per Post-Its

Don’t worry about what medium or channel they used.

Interview users and gather tasks / needs 25 minutes

29

Buying shoes

The research asks the buyer to describe their purchase.

Begin when they first started thinking about buying the shoes or even before that. Go back as far as possible.

Finish after they’d bought the shoes and taken delivery - often they’ll have had some contact with the vendor after purchase such as returns.

Listen for their needs and tasks. Don’t worry about what medium or channel they used.

Write down one need or task per post-it.

Tips

Ask about the other people they spoke to (for advice, customer service, inspiration, or because they would be wearing the clothes!).

When they needed to make a decision or trade-off, what was important to them?

If you have time, get them to go back over their story. You may find they revise what they did.

Listen for words that described how they felt. Especially: were they anxious or surprised at any point. Why was this?

Think about the four contexts (physical, social, temporal, task).Which one(s) influenced their behaviour at each stage?

30

Booking a hotel

The research asks the buyer to describe their booking.

Begin when they first started thinking about finding a hotel for themselves to stay in (that’s important) - this is probably a while before the trip. Go back as far as possible.

Finish after they’d returned from the trip - often they’ll have had some contact with the vendor after purchase.

Listen for their needs and tasks. Don’t worry about what medium or channel they used.

Write down one need or task per post-it.

Mobile car configurator

The researcher asks the buyer to describe their purchase.

Begin when they first started thinking about buying a new car - this is probably a long time before the actual purchase. Go back as far as possible.

Finish after they’d bought the car and experienced it - often they’ll have had some contact with the vendor after purchase.

Listen for their needs and tasks. Don’t worry about what medium or channel they used.

Write down one need or task per post-it.

Tips

Ask about the other people they spoke to (for advice, customer service, inspiration, or because they would use the car, too).

When they needed to make a decision or trade-off, what was important to them?

If you have time, get them to go back over their story. You may find they revise what they did.
